Homework
Overview
Suppose you are a tax consultant at one of the "Big Four" accounting firms. In April of 2022, a local business professional named John Client emailed your firm about his interest in forming a new corporation. John cannot decide whether to form as an S or C corporation. S corporations are incorporated under state law and therefore have the same legal protections as C corporations. They are governed by the same corporate tax rules that apply in the organization, liquidation, and reorganization of C corporations. However, unlike a C corporation, an S corporation is a flow-through entity and shares many tax similarities with partnerships. You are assigned to respond to John's inquiry. You're planning to have a web-based meeting with John to review some of the items that create concerns for him.
Instructions
To complete this homework, you will create a 6 to 7 slides PowerPoint deck. Create your deck as though you plan to use it during a remote video call to address John's concerns, as follows:
Question I. Establish the required qualifications to become an S versus a C corporation.
Question II. Determine one tax-related advantage and one tax-related disadvantage of C and S corporations.
Question 1. To fulfill this requirement, you must have a total of four examples: an advantage and disadvantage for both entity types
Question III. Determine the limitations on the number and type of shareholders that an S versus a C corporation may have.
Question IV. Assess the circumstances in which an S election versus C may be involuntarily terminated.
Question V. Outline which tax forms are submitted by both S and C corporations.
Question VI. Develop three recommendations related to corporate formation to provide the best tax options for the company.
Question VII. Use at least three resources to support your research or recommendations. Choose credible, relevant, and appropriate sources, such as your course text, texts from previous taxation courses, or current IRS publications. If you require help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this homework are:
I. Evaluate characteristics of corporate entities for tax planning purposes.
II. Develop research-based organizational tax planning strategies for corporations and partnerships.
